4 JOHNNA BRYNN BOCKOVER International photographer based in Kansas City, Missouri and extremely eager to create photographic art. I am that all or nothing type of person, so I love what I do and do it with all of my heart. I believe in capturing the essence of a person, and sometimes that means capturing the part they may have yet to see. I believe I am on this earth to give, encourage and call forth destinies and sometimes that is by way of an image. And sometimes, my clients discover who they were meant to be, after seeing a photo I captured of them. Will you let me call forth your destiny? I d be honored. 3
